Abstract

The disk cartridge includes a sheet-like recording medium (39) fixed to the periphery of a circular centre plate (36) which has an almost square centre hole (4) and an almost rectangular eccentric hole (5), the sheet-like recording medium being rotatably accommodated in the cartridge comprising an upper half (42) and a lower half (43), and the circular centre plate being loosely fitted in a turntable insertion hole (9) provided in the lower half. The sheet-like recording medium (39) is positioned in the cartridge (44) by a ring (37) cooperating with a locating rib (45) for restricting the movement of the circular centre plate in the central part thereof, so that the diameter of the circular centre plate can be much decreased and the aberration of tracking or the like during recording or reproducing are prevented even when the magnetic heads (26,27) are in their nearest position to the centre of the plate (36) and a height difference (H1) exists between the upper face of the lower magnetic head, and the lower face of the portion of the recording medium (39) stuck to the center plate (36).

As shown in FIG. 7, the circular hole peripheral portion 3a of the magnetic sheet 3 is formed.
Due to variations in the thickness of the adhesive 31 adhered to the lower surface of the flange 29 of the center disk 2, the lower surface of the circular hole peripheral portion 3a of the magnetic sheet 3 is 3b, and the height of the magnetic sheet 3 is a reference value. When the step H 1 is generated between the upper surface 27a of the lower magnetic head 27 and the upper surface 27a of the lower magnetic head 27, the magnetic sheet 3 cannot be brought into contact with the upper surface 27a of the lower magnetic head 27 in a completely horizontal state, and the magnetic sheet 3 moves in the radial direction. The upper and lower flexures of the magnetic sheets 26, 2
The hit (contact state) of 7 becomes worse. However, the hitting problem becomes the most serious problem when both magnetic heads 26 and 27 are moved to the innermost circumference position P 1 to record and reproduce the innermost circumference of the magnetic sheet 3.

That is, the peripheral portion 3a of the circular hole of the magnetic sheet 3 is the central disc 2
Since the magnetic sheet 3 is adhered and fixed to the lower surface of the flange 29, the inner peripheral side of the magnetic sheet 3 is less flexible than the outer peripheral side and is hard to bend. When it is moved to 1 , the above hit is the worst.
If this hit is not good, problems such as tracking deviation and spacing loss will occur, especially for 1MB (for standard recording).
2MB (for high-density recording) is more important than

However, at this time, the outer diameter D 2 of the central disk 2 is set to the magnetic sheet 3
If it can be configured to be sufficiently smaller than the outer diameter (3.5 inches) D 3 of the magnetic disk 3, the circular hole peripheral portion 3a of the magnetic sheet 3 adhered and fixed to the lower surface of the flange 29 of the central disk 2 is fixed. A sufficient distance l is provided between the outer diameter position P 2 of the fixed portion and the innermost peripheral position P 1 of both magnetic heads 26, 27.
Although it is possible to improve the connexion per the preparative 1, simply can not reduce the outer diameter D 2 of the flange 29 of the central disc 2.

Since the magnetic disk 3 is positioned from the inside by the positioning structure on the outer peripheral side of the central disk 2, the magnetic sheet 3 is positioned (centered) in the cartridge 8 so that the central disk 2 It is very difficult to reduce the outer diameter D 2 of the magnetic disk 3 to a certain value or less, and the outer diameter D 2 of the central disk 2 becomes relatively larger than the outer diameter D 3 of the magnetic sheet 3.

Therefore, according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, the outer diameter D 6 of the flange 38 of the central disk 36 is sufficiently smaller than the outer diameter (3.5 inches) D 3 of the magnetic sheet 39. The outer diameter position P 3 of the fixed portion of the circular hole peripheral portion 39a of the magnetic sheet 39, which is fixed to the upper surface of the flange 38 of the central disk 36, and the innermost circumference of the magnetic sheet 39. Both magnetic heads 26, 27 for recording and reproducing
A sufficiently large distance l 2 can be provided between the innermost peripheral position P 1 (the same position as the conventional one ). That is, D 6 of the present invention,
The relationship between l 2 and conventional D 3 and l 1 shown in FIG.

As a result of the above, according to the present invention, due to the variation in the thickness of the adhesive 41 that adheres the circular hole peripheral portion 39a of the magnetic sheet 39 to the upper surface of the flange 38 of the central disk 36,
The lower surface 39b of the circular hole peripheral portion 39a of the magnetic sheet 39
And the step H 1 between the upper surface 27a of the lower magnetic head 27 and the height of the magnetic sheet 39, the distance l 2 is sufficiently large.
Of the magnetic sheet 39 between the flange 38 of the central disk 36 and the magnetic heads 26 and 27 can be sufficiently ensured. Thus, the contact (contact state) of both magnetic heads 26, 27 with respect to the magnetic sheet 39 can be significantly improved, and problems such as tracking deviation and spacing loss do not occur.

According to the present invention, since the outer diameter of the sheet-shaped recording medium such as a magnetic sheet is the same as the conventional one, and the outer diameter of the central disk can be made sufficiently small with respect to the outer diameter. The recording / reproducing head such as a magnetic head can be remarkably improved in hitting the sheet-shaped recording medium during reproduction as compared with the conventional one, and the recording / reproducing head can be reproduced without causing problems such as tracking deviation and spacing loss. The accuracy can be significantly improved. And according to the present invention, it is particularly suitable for a micro floppy disc for 2 MB (for high density recording).
